Seems dumb to not include Origins since that's the one most didn't play. Also releasing afte Arkham Knight seems kind of odd as well. Since I would think the remaster would be used to sell more people on Arkham knight.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Oh, porting an old game to the new systems? What a novel and interesting idea.

All of them are on UE3 though; including Arkham Knight.
It was #8 on my list from 2013.
It's just below Asylum and better than City in my opinion, it definitely deserves the remaster treatment as much as the other two

Probably not before the next Nintendo handheld comes. Nintendo has just rereleases SMG2 as a downloadable Virtual Console style game.

Huh. I could have sworn that it was UE4. The more you know!

I'm not against remasters in general, when they accure from time to time over one generation, but this gen is not off to a good start tbh.

Great News, but I think Origins has the best story. It was really good.

....Does this spell bad news for Arkam Knight 
? I mean, why have an Remastered Collection of the PS3/360 Arkam games when you have the brand new next-gen version coming out so soon?
I feel like this is to cover up another delay for Arkam Knight, but that just may be the cynic in me talking :l.
Anyway, if the games run at a higher resolution and frame rate alongside having all the DLC, then that sounds nice. I do wonder why Arkam Origins is being excluded from this collection though (as it would add even more value to it; the game is more or less Arkam City 2, so it has a ton of content to play with )...
Regarding the whole remaster crazy, I'm not upset by this, as it looks to be a great deal (as you are getting two games for 40/60 bucks instead of just one). It isn't like the GOWIII Remaster coming soon which ONLY has GOWIII with little improvements; this should offer a more stable frame-rate to the games, decrease the load times, increase the draw distance and more.

.Exactly. People are obviously buying these remasters and youve got no end to GAFers begging for their favorite 4 year old games to be remastered. I cant say I blame publishers for not leaving easy money on the table.

I always find this kind of attitude odd. It's a chance for people to play a game they may have missed out on during the last generation, but not only that, it's a chance for the games to shine in 1080p and possibly 60fps. We're in an era where these type of games take a very long time to produce; I don't mind that these remasters exist. Outside of the small minority of gamers who consume every AAA title, most of us miss out on a significant portion of these titles. I didn't get the chance to play Tomb Raider, GTAV and the Metro series on the PS3/360. I'm glad I get the opportunity on the PS4. Even with something like The Last Of Us, which I did play, it's great to see it properly shine on new tech, rather than replaying it on a struggling PS3.
Long live remasters. Games aren't as disposable as the consoles that they exist on.

I'm assuming there isn't any extra content since no PC port was announced.
Although, I'm sure Rocksteady find a way to tease their next project after Batman either in this or Knight.

I used to be pretty adamant about playing all these remasters but this is getting discouraging for me. I don't have time to re-play all my favourite games from last gen + all the new games coming this gen. I was going to play the following remasters:
GTAV (already released)
Sleeping Dogs (already released)
Mass Effect (unannounced, but who wouldn't expect this)
Bioshock (unanounced, but who wouldn't expect this)
I'm going to skip out on them though (and the Arkham games). I think I'd rather play Ori or Oddworld New N Tasty or White Night or something new than to do a retread of a favourite game of mine. Don't get me wrong - I think remasters are great for people who haven't played a particular game. Case in point - I never played DmC or Borderlands and I'll gladly pick up those remasters. But I am so over the idea of getting excited about replaying a remastered version of one of my favourite games.

Starting to feel the same
Next Christmas if Google Translate is correct. Don't see who should buy this when a bunch of new games just came out. This would have made sense last summer or so.

Lets say this is real. IGN Italy is saying possibly Holiday release date for remasters? Released after Arkham Knight? What are the chances that Arkham Knight is getting delayed to Holiday? Please No.

Its already got delayed for 8 months. If its delayed again, something is seriously wrong with the game.
Can't see Knight being delayed again.

Arkham Origins was a pretty good game, bugs aside. I wish that game would get an update along those first two amazing games.
I tried to do something with this, making the third and fourth panels a higher-res actual Donald, but failed pretty badly.
On topic, who asked for this, why is it after Knight, and why on earth wouldn't you include Origins?

Yes you are probably right but people are most definitely buying these remakes so why wouldn't they keep making them?
Easy money
Would this "remaster" look better than the current PC versions maxed out? If not, then don't even bother. And even if it would, I think Arkham City still looks absolutely incredible maxed out.
I'm curious if they're going to overhaul Asylum's combat. It always takes me a time to adjust to Asylum's wonky combat after having getting used to the perfect City combat. Makes the new playthroughs kind of a pain.

Stop with the same fucking comments every thread.
You don't like remasters, don't buy them.
If enough people are in your boat, companies will stop releasing them.
Until then, shut up, let people who love the games so much they want to replay a higher quality version, or those who never got to play it a first time decide with their wallets.
The same thing you should be doing.
If it's not affecting the release of new games (and in most cases, it helps fund them) then it's not hurting anyone.

I dont know about "best one", but its definitely the buggiest
